strain- you are holding something heavy up above your head, your arms get tired, they are straining to hold something up. so strain refers to you doing something. the strain of working for sacho-san cos he is an asshat.

Hi, trunker.
Thanks for explaining, but I don’t see who sacho-san is and what asshat is.
Sacho-san might be shacho-san??? You mean the boss?
Even so, I see what you are saying like this: When I feel strain, I feel something heavy on my shoulders or mind.

tension is a stretching force, like on a string or a piece of gum. in your context you could say that so many things are pulling you in different directions. its like an external force is affecting you, unlike strain where you are the one exerting the force.

“Like on a string.” This is very easy to imagine.
If you perform tightrope walking, you would feel tension. Right?
This image is very easy to learn. Thanks!
